No problem!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve recently been getting a growing number of calls from people who are upgrading their computers from Windows XP or Vista to Microsoft&#8217;s new Windows 7. Congratulations!<\/p>\n<p>So we thought we should share a few of the common questions these folks have to assist with the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Does FloSpace FloPrompter work on Windows 7?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A: Yes, it does! Our customers report that it&#8217;s working great on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Q: How do I get FloSpace FloPrompter for Windows 7?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A: Simply go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flospace.com\/downloads.htm\">download page on FloSpace.com<\/a> and click on the &#8220;Update&#8221; button. Run the <strong>FloPrompter Installer <\/strong>first. Then, run the <strong>Vista Patcher app<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>(Yes, we know it&#8217;s called &#8220;Vista Patcher,&#8221; but we had to create it for Vista computers first. Fortunately, the same patcher will fix the same issue on Windows 7, too.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Q: I tried installing FloSpace FloPrompter from an old CD (or old installation file), but it&#8217;s not working. I get a strange error message. What can I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A: Older versions of FloPrompter didn&#8217;t support Windows 7 very well (or not at all). First, uninstall FloPrompter. Then, download the latest version from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flospace.com\/downloads.htm\">FloSpace.com web site<\/a>. Install FloPrompter first, then run the Vista Patcher app. FloPrompter v. 3.1 or later works great on Windows 7.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Q: When I install FloPrompter on my new Windows 7 computer, will I have to buy a new license or can I use my old license? <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A: If you&#8217;re simply replacing your old computer, it&#8217;s no problem! Please re-enter your license key into the license request dialog, and you&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re keeping the old computer while also setting up the new computer, it can be a little more complicated. Our general policy is that if you tend to use one computer for authoring the content and another for teleprompter playback, then it&#8217;s fine. Similarly, if you have one computer at work (such as a school) and a second at home, then it&#8217;s also acceptable usage.
